According to its self-reported version, Cisco Identity Services Engine is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in its REST API component due to insufficient input validation on specific endpoints. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain root access to the system.
Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
